9 times out of 10 it's the head gasket on an aluminum engine, usually because of warpage due to overheating. You will have to pull the head(s) involved and replace gasket. A machine shop will have to check cylinder head to see if it needs milled to straighten mating surface. If overheating caused it, will have to fix whatever the problem is in cooling system as well. Check fluid level and se if unusually low and oil for signs of water in it.

Think you may have bad head gasket, seal or cracked head. Water is getting into your engine which usually causes white smoke. Also leaking antifreeze is from these same causes. Hope this helps. Ken
